Effects of light

In a solo show named Remains of the Day, artist Shi Jing pursues a conceptual exploration of light, through cameras, TV programs and reflective surfaces. His latest installation piece features a 24-hour news channel projected on to a mirror ball, which disperses it into a rainbow of hues. Through this process, the artist completely negates the content of the broadcast.
